Our Ref: MGLA260419-1320 24 May 2019 Dear Thank You for Your (By email) Our Ref: MGLA260419-1320 24 May 2019 Dear Thank you for your request for information which the GLA received on 25 April 2019. Your request has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. You asked for; I’m seeking copies of correspondence sent or received by members of the mayoral team in relation to the recent climate change protests by the activist group Extinction Rebellion. Please provide: • Copies of all relevant emails sent or received by Sadiq Khan between 14 April 2019 and 25 April 2019. • Copies of all relevant emails sent or received by Shirley Rodrigues between 14 April 2019 and 25 April 2019. To help you locate the relevant correspondence, please search these email accounts for messages sent or received between the specified dates and containing the keywords “Extinction Rebellion”, “climate”, “protest” or “protests”. Please find attached information. Please note that the emails we have located within scope of your request relating to the Mayor are from members of the public and third parties. Some of the information is therefore exempt from disclosure under s.40 (Personal information) of the Freedom of Information Act. This information could potentially identify specific employees or members of the public and as such constitutes as personal data which is defined by Article 4(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable living individual. It is considered that disclosure of this information would contravene the first data protection principle under Article 5(1) of GDPR which states that Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject. If you have any further questions relating to this matter, please contact me, quoting the reference at the top of this letter. Yours sincerely Information Governance Officer If you are unhappy with the way the GLA has handled your request, you may complain using the GLA’s FOI complaints and internal review procedure, available at: https://www.london.gov.uk/about-us/governance-and-spending/sharing-our- information/freedom-information abandoned it as 'unachievable'. Google’s conclusions were in IEEE Spectrum "What it would really take to reverse climate change". No current technology can avoid our species extinction. We need "truly disruptive technology" to survive. Since then we have ignored titans like Professor Wally Broecker, the Father of the climate science "No amount of carbon reduction can void disaster". We are long past Stephen Hawking's 'tipping point', indeed it maybe that Dr Mayer Hillman is right ‐ maybe we are already 'doomed' (Guardian). What Google did not foresee is that the technology would be invented but not deployed because it would, indeed, be 'truly disruptive" and who wants change. It will, indeed, mean huge change in replacing coal, oil and gas and also EV and wind turbines, and all post Kyoto cu‐ de‐sac' alternatives; all fine until their carbon footprints told us they go, or we do. Extinction Rebellion is disrupting ordinary lives because just as the establishment and the Elite are denying the people Brexit so these same people find it inconceivable that we should embrace change if it means wasting assets or avoiding the status quo – as GBS put it "Progress depends upon the unreasonable man". One can only hope that Extinction Rebellion makes enough ‘business as usual’ impossible soon enough for 'action' to be effcetive. We are out of time. Even a global deployment tomorrow of my technology cannot reverse climate change in decade. We need to ‘panic’ in its sense of coming to fear a future so grim that we have no choice: we must avoid it no less than strenuously than we resisted Hitler – with all we’ve got. That means using this or better technology if it comes to hand, to convert cars to run clean, take homes and factories, et al 'off grid', make ships and trains et al run clean, and recover carbon from the atmosphere. All out of free sunlight and nitrogen, which makes up 78% of our air. No one invents anything – we merely find what’s already there. Consumerism was never about money, save to the none so blind, it was always about carbon and the price now has to be paid; or few, if any of us, will live to see 2050 dawn. We are, now – this day ‐ in real grim trouble, which Michael Gove no more begins to ‘get’ than does Clair Perry or Greg Clark – they are happy Fracking – Oh My! Tonight Sir David Attenborough will tell us there is hope. With respect that is sweetening the pill. There is none as matters stand. Greta Thunberg was ignored at Davos when she told the ‘elite’ ~ “ I don’t want you to be hopeful, I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day and I want you to act.” I trust XR will not stop without a commitment from every party in the House to deploy the technology I am happy to give away if that is the best way to reverse climate change. 2 19 2 2 "They've had their picture, fair enough, that's all you need now. Why is he spending 15 minutes on top of the Tube? Explain that." The protests have also faced criticism from a representative for businesses based in London's West End, who warned disruption caused to the shopping district could cost companies hundreds of millions of pounds. Jace Tyrell, chief executive of the New West End Company, told Sky News the protest had brought a feeling of "intimidation" and on average caused a 25% drop in spending in the area, adding GBP12 million less was spent on Tuesday. A bright pink boat has been parked on Oxford Street in recent days as part of the protests and Mr Tyrell warned the cost to businesses could rise if Oxford Circus and Marble Arch stations are not opened "pretty quickly". "What we would like to see is the mayor and the Met to find a more appropriate location in Central London for the protesters to continue their peaceful protest but not hold the West End to ransom," Mr Tyrell said. "West End businesses fully support the right to protest but actually this is causing significant damage to our area." http://mediapoint.press.net/article.jsp?id=20726467 ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ To unsubscribe, please visit Mediapoint Wire http://www.mediapoint.press.net/saved_searches.jsp and amend your saved searches.

Other activists glued themselves to the train. Within minutes of the action, Transport for London’s website reported “delays between Bank and Lewisham due to a customer incident at Canary Wharf”. One man who was glued to the train, who gave his name as Mark, was removed by officers at 11.45am. Two protesters remained glued to the roof of the train. One, Cathy Eatburn, 51, said she was taking part for her teenage daughters’ futures. “I don’t want to be here today and I’m really sorry for the disruption but I feel I have been forced to do this,” she said. “I have two daughters and I can’t sit by while their future is threatened … The government is doing nothing – we have to force them to act.” The two protesters who had glued themselves to the roof of the train were finally removed by police at 12.40pm. Gail Bradbrook, an Extinction Rebellion co-founder who was at the scene, explained why Canary Wharf had been chosen for the protest. “This is the heart of the system that is bringing us to our knees causing huge disruption and chaos around the world … so we want people to pause and reflect,” she said. Bradbrook described the protest as relatively small and said the group would reflect on its success before decide whether to escalate the transport demonstrations in the coming days. Climate protesters climb on top of train at Canary Wharf – video Peter, who works in financial services in Canary Wharf and did not want to give his surname, was watching from the platform as police tried to remove the protesters. “I think it’s a great thing,” said the 30-year-old. “It’s raising awareness and it’s made me think about this issue and made me come out here away from my desk and engage with what is obviously a very serious issue.” Thousands of people have taken part in the protests, blockading four landmarks in London in an attempt to force the government to take action on the climate crisis. On Wednesday afternoon, the four sites – Marble Arch, Waterloo Bridge, Parliament Square and Oxford Circus – remained under the control of protesters, causing delays and diversions in the surrounding areas. Almost 300 arrests were made in the first two days of the protest. Further arrests were made on Wednesday at the Oxford Circus and Waterloo Bridge sites. Police arrested about nine people at Waterloo Bridge just after rush hour on Wednesday morning, according to an Extinction Rebellion activist at the scene. “We are all noticing that they [the police] are not well staffed,” said Sarah Pethybridge, 65, from Cornwall, who had been there since 8.30am.

Our monitoring methodology has been developed and approved by leading academics and experts in the field of corpus linguistics. CfMM is recognised as an authority in this field and a valuable resource by all stakeholders, including the media, regulators, politicians, and community organisations. CfMM works closely with editors and journalists from the national print and broadcast media to highlight inaccuracies, generalisations and misrepresentations of Muslims and Islam in the media as well as promote good practice and increase Religious Literacy. We hold roundtable discussions and ‘Meet the Media’ events between media executives and community organisations. We deliver media skills training, publish evidenced-based reports, sit on advisory boards, and make submissions to inquiries and consultations such as OFCOM’s Thematic Review of Representation and Portrayal on the BBC, the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines Consultation, the Editor’s Code Review, and the Lords Select Committee Inquiry on the Future of Journalism.

  • Finding 25 Churchill Place from London Bridge Station (Jubilee Line)
    Finding 25 Churchill Place From London Bridge Station (Jubilee Line) Go to the Jubilee Line Platform for East-bound trains. As you enter the platform, turn right and make your way nearly to the end of the platform to wait for the next train. Exit the train at Canary Wharf and go up either the first or second escalators, which will display signs for Upper Bank Street and Montgomery Street, then make your way through the barriers. Turn right after the barriers and go through the doors marked Canada Square & Churchill offices & shops. Head up the escalator. Keep straight ahead when you reach the top, following the signs to Churchill Place. Head through the hallway, turn left at the end and head up the escalator. At the top, turn right and travel across the waterway through the glass hallway. Exit the hallway using the first doors on the left, before the escalator – disregard the fact it looks like a fire exit. As you exit, 25 Churchill Place is the building on your right. Make your way around the corner to the right – pass 30 Churchill Place (entrance to the European Medical Agency) – and use the next entrance. You have arrived. From Canary Wharf DLR Station Exit the DLR at Canary Wharf. Head down the stairs directly from the platform – do not enter the shopping centre. Exit the station to the South without entering the shopping centre. Cross the street (South Colonnade) and turn left (East). Follow this street all the way to Churchill Place – you’ll pass Wahaca and Waitrose on your left.
